Emma Dean Wood - Classs Speech on Kayleigh

Over the past year, Emma has been working hard to come up with a speech for her school. It is a yearly competition where the winner of each class gets to share their speech in front of the whole school.

Emma decided to put a speech together about Kayleigh and share how her life has been changed by our sweet little Angel. Unfortunately Emma's speech was not chosen to move on to the next round, but we are all so very proud of her for her hard work and dedication. She is definitely #1 in our book and we are so grateful to have Emma in our life.

Please enjoy Emma...

Thank you for everything Emma! You are very inspiring :)

Dear Kayleigh,Today is the 3 year anniversary of my daughter coming home from the hospital after nealy losing her. It is also the 3 years anniversary of " meeting" you and your family. Your blog is the first blog I had ever read and I am still amazed today at the strength you had. Thru the writing of your patents, I actually felt a connection with you and your family and I came back every day, sometimes multiple times a day (depending on how rambunctious you were being that day)to check on you. I find myself still checking your blog every once in a while. I know we wont understand the reasons that things happen, but I believe I found your blog to help me find faith when I had very little left. Of all days to thank you for that, I thought an anniversary might be a great one. Thank you Kayleigh for giving me the faith to get thru the toughest times of my life. Rest in peace sweet baby.

I was so touch by Kayleigh story as soon as i saw the youtube i knew i had to look her up. I started to cry so much when i heard she passed away the daymy sister was born. God bless Baby Kayleighs angel I am confident she looking out for her love once. Love you baby

I lost my baby kaylie this year are babies had similar problems .. Kaylie only lived for 11 days she was also 1 pound then dropped 13 oz ... I'm glad u had some good doctors cuz I didn't. My baby didn't even die from being so small or from a disease they did a surgery and I kept asking them about her blood count and saying they should give her blood she just had surgery the next day she die from blood loss. I miss my baby so much she was so beautiful and tiny like your girl.

hi i saw your video on youtube and I to had a baby that was born early she was 15 oz when she was born. she lived for a whole month . she was born september 9th 2012 and past october 9th 2012 . it just reminds you how precouse life can be. if you look under souluminatkon.com my babys picture are on there to her name was Kamila Marina Rodriguez-Cuenca

I feel soo bad for you guys. She was such a little baby. I love the picture that had her dads wedding ring as a bracelet. My mom and I are touched by the story that she kept going and surviving just for her mom and dad just so she could spend time with them. I almost cried when I watched that video on YouTube!! :'(

This story about kayleigh has touched my heart and soul. It is amazing how this little angel has touched so many lives. I was so touched by the parents andI hope that they are healing and I pray for them. God bless you.

I came across your story tonight and it deeply touched me. Im sorry for your loss and pain but i can tell you had such a sweet angel and you were truly blessed. I bet she would of been an amazing little girl. God bless you. -casey bilbrey
